    if the price is right it would definatly make a nice pair with your sprint. there was one on ebay a while back. it was in a j-yard but looked ok~ish, the buy it now was only a few hundred i think.

    If you can afford it, get it. I think it would be neat to have all three Sprints.(y)

    If you get it, you could always sell it to Ray later on.

    I say we all pitch in and buy it, restore it and give it to T.L.
    Wait a minute...let's give it to ME!!! I'll take it to go with MY Sprint!

    Buy it!

    There are very few of those left.

    I would put money that at this point they are rarer than the convertible Stang Sprint! And there was only 50 of those made!
    There are people out there that are serious about collecting Sprints and they need a Pinto to complete a basic collection even more than the vert Stang.

    I wish I could find one.
    To me it wouldn't be something I'd restore, but more like something to get out of the weather and preserve.

    Basic collection to me is:
    Pinto
    Mav
    FB Stang

    Better collection is (IMO):
    All above +
    Coupe Stang

    Truely complete collection:
    All above +
    One of the remaining vert Stangs...

    Where is it? I'd consider buying it if the price and conditions are right. I know where one is in a junk yard in PA but its a major rust bucket.

    If the body is solid and the prices is right, I would buy it. That's something you probably won't run across again.
